PTO mom Stacy Fox said, "The teachers take such care and time to make their rooms look great for our children, and studies have shown that a great physical environment helps kids and adults learn.

"We thought they deserve a beautiful place to do their lesson plans, correct papers, and grab an early morning cup of coffee. Our teachers eat lunch with their students, but they need a place of their own to collaborate and refresh their batteries."

Hallways at Way Elementary at 765 West Long Lake Road were filled with parents building furniture and putting the whole room together. They planned to be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Then, on Monday at 8:40 a.m., the room will be revealed to the teachers with a special ribbon cutting and beautiful breakfast.

"With the help of many parents and community members, this will be a teacher appreciation event to remember," said officials.
